It's not that Silver/Lead is a bad record. It's not. But what is interesting about it—the atmospheric sounds and rhythms—are relegated to the background, if there at all, and then to only certain sections of songs. Otherwise the tunes are dominated by straight strummed chords that don't offer much for the listening experience. Nothing really stands out, and the songs that do—the catchy "Short Elevated Period," as well as the two musical highlights of the album, "This Time" and "Sleep on the Wing"—don't leave enough of an impression to be overly impressed by.
